Participants will earn 17 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, however, you needn’t be a medical professional to join MedSail 2020.

Accommodations

The Moorings offers a wide variety of yachts available for charter. Choose between a sleek monohull, spacious sailing catamaran, or swift power catamaran and captain the yacht yourself, or hire one of our professional Moorings Skippers to do the work for you.

If a full yacht is more than you need, opt for our By-The-Cabin package. Reserve an en-suite cabin aboard our Crewed 4500 Sailing Catamaran, and join 2 other couples on board an all-inclusive experience complete with Captain and Gourmet Chef.
